I have a hard time restricting it to a "------" operator to guarantee the indexed articles have relevant info.
I've resorted to setting Google to only show articles pre-2010, which does a decent enough job of skimming the desperate CIA/FBI programming narratives off the top.
When you automate things, there are always compounding gaps in tolerance thresholds.
Let me put it this way:
For example, if I were to have a machine mark an infinitely long rope every 10 feet, and it is off by 0.17% of an inch, that means every 5890 feet of rope will be off an entire 10ft length of rope.
If a 17,670 foot long wall had the same margin of error, there would be 3 10foot gaps in it I can just waltz through.
All I gotta do is keep bashing my head against the search engine using different combinations of words surrounding the ones they try to censor and bob's your uncle.
Has anyone noticed that on the home page of DDG it use to say We will never collect your info or something to that effect but now it just says "Privacy simplified"
I use it, have for years. It isn't perfect but it does work very well for me. People sometimes say they are not getting search results they like from it, and I have seen what I considered to be weird returns myself.... so when any search engine does that rephrase your query, come at it from a different direction. I mean, you should do that anyway just to check perspectives and allow yourself opportunity to gather additional data...
How you frame your searches determines a lot, and DDG will often reference 'wherever' you are at the moment or your own recent sites visited, ignore those obviously.
I like it over the others I have tried. Use a VPN but again you should always be doing that, and I use Brave but it is not very kosher really, it suffices but has issues such as pushing crypto. With that combo I get good results, people will sometimes ask me where I am seeing stuff because my searches bring up things their google doesn't or their bing doesn't or whatever.
Regardless of the engine tho, HOW you search matters greatly. Sometimes you can move your VPN to look as if you are in another country and get different results on the exact same wording of a search for instance.
???. It’s odd you posted that after I got warning from it??? so i May be tripping but it’s odd that DDG tracked when I used it to come here. That’s ehile reason for my post.
Yeah, it skims a lot of returns, and always remember that EVERY single keystroke you make on any platform, no matter your security, is clocked. At a minimum the metadata is captured but I'd bet not just in metadata form.
That's why you want a VPN, it prevents amateurs/bots and most people who would abuse you from 'seeing' your IP address accurately. So while the data is captured it is made to look like some other computer. Pros, the FBI and their minions, can get through that but they can get through anything, the VPN does protect you from casual attacks.
If you use a VPN some sites may deny you access at first, always check and make sure your VPN shows as in America or it could trigger censorships. That sounds terrible but it isn't onery, and sometimes your VPN may glitch or drop out and then sites see youer computer differently again and that can cause confusion. Just reboot the VPN and you're good to go. That happens to me some because I have primitive service out in these woods...it may never happen to you.
Protonmail will offer you a free VPN, I use their mail too because it is pretty good at keeping you protected.
All it does is forward your internet traffic under a different IP address. The VPN provider still has your details and that would make providing a VPN service an excellent way to trap users who want to remain private in a VPN honeypot, would it not?
Also, they could sell on your data and you would never know.
Someone more tech savvy than me can correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, it means the websites you visit are tracked as you're browsing and that info can be used to create a 'profile' of who you are. 'They' can figure out how you think, or how you might think, based on where you browse...they can figure out even more of how you think if you're also posting/interacting. The stuff from the Shadowgate documentary come to mind.
I'm not sure if DDG's website has any tracking cause I've only used their search engine through my browser, which currently is Dissenter.
It is as compromised as Google, but they aren't as good at it so I use it. Usually all you have to do is keep scrolling down to get past all shill listings.
I use DDG quite a bit and I find myself every once in a while using google just because the results are better. The search engine issue is a never ending steaming pile of shit. If google wasn't evil it might possibly be the greatest information tool in human history. Instead its evil incarnate.
DDG is compromised and sold out to Google. Startpage threw up Captchas which is annoying. I've been using Swisscows and had no issues at all, I'd recommend them.
It isn't very good for my research purposes.

Not to be confrontational, but: a Google search setting is enough to outsmart the cabal's Google programming?
Usually, this is the case.
But every algorithm has its flaws.

aka google-fu, gosh, that takes me back ;)

I’m good with it

Ok thank you very much
I don't see hov VPN provides any privacy.
All it does is forward your internet traffic under a different IP address. The VPN provider still has your details and that would make providing a VPN service an excellent way to trap users who want to remain private in a VPN honeypot, would it not?

You're looking for TOR or an onion router sounds like.

Whole
Oh. I didn’t know there’s such a thing for my phone
What kind of feedback are you looking for? I can't claim to be a master of it, but I've used it since around 2014
Ok so bear with me. What’s this mean? Trackers aggregate you web history.... it means there is tracking on that website?

i like it, i just wish it had gps
Yeah, if you want to look at a map google is your only choice.
Works well! I like it!
I use it 90% of the time... works well especially when searching for anything political or related to the coof or death jab that is censored by Google
I use DDG exclusively.... Giggle is for the NPCs.
It’s my main browser for about 4 months now. Love it
If you are suspicious compare the results against Qwant.com
I use both. Qwant doesn't have all the bells and whistles but I believe it just gives results without a filter.
Exclusively for the past few years. Works fine for me
TBH I use Qwant
I’ve used it for awhile, it’s not bad but I prefer startpage and have switched to that for about 6 months now.
It has it's limitations, but the thing I like least about them is they advertise on NPR.
It is as compromised as Google, but they aren't as good at it so I use it. Usually all you have to do is keep scrolling down to get past all shill listings.
I use google for anything non-political.
yes, i do. but doesn't really matter, i mean less data is spread but your phones track you, your ISP tracks you etc.
Almost exclusively. The only time I don't is when I am looking for the "fact checkers" to see what they don't want me to look at.
DDG are commies.
Use Qwant, Swisscows or something else.
Have you tried Yandex? It's a Russian/Dutch browser.
Still comped...
It's a built-in option for default search engine on iPhones. Tells you all you need to know imo...

I have used it for years and lately I have noticed much more msm stuff showing up on the top few pages. Something has changed.
